Who mentioned travellers? These people are modern slavers - called Rooney.

Just pointing out the possibility that the police may be targetting law-abiding members of the community purely because of their misfortune to be called Rooney?

Just had a little read up on Rooneys 3 times over..
By rights he should get a long ban 2yr and a re- take driving test..fine is irrelevant to him as it will be hundreds.
A good solicitor may get him a year but he has to be banned as its not going to stop him working if that's the right term for a friggin footy player

I know I was just trying to move the discussion along as I didn't really see anywhere to go with that suggestion

Again, Rooney doesn't matter and nor does his sex life - I actually thought the debate around the punishment/deterrent potential was going to be interesting, along the lines of the law forbidding rich and poor alike........but sadly the irrelevant has become a focus.
You're the one who had the maths lessons, can't you do your own counting?

It's a good question and a very tough answer because the very fabric of our society is biased to wealth. But if you want to keep an even hand then perhaps the 'fairest' option is a physical one. Stocks, birching, chopping of hands and executions, get them all on pay per view, there would be a great audience.

Ah,the old "you are jealous" comment when someone criticises a "wealthy" person. How unoriginal of you.

Norway, I believe, has the strictest DD laws in Europe.
From wiki:
0.02%. Punishment depends on the alcohol level. 0.02% (fine, but one may also risk a suspended licence if any aggravated circumstances are present.), 0.05% (fine, suspended sentence and suspended license), 0.10% (fine, suspended or mandatory sentence and suspended license), 0.15% (fine, mandatory sentence and suspended license).
The guidelines state that the fine for an alcohol level of more than 0.05% should be around 1.5 months base salary and usually not lower than 10,000 NOK. For 0.02 to 0.05% the fine is lower.
Prison sentences are usually around three weeks to three months with a maximum of one year. The suspension period varies from less than a year to forever, when license is suspended forever, one may apply to get it back after five years.

Effective to a certain extent: if someone is caught speeding, they are fined on the spot (a colleague of mine, from Brighton, actually) was 4 mph over the limit and he copped an £80 fine, IIRC.
Quite a number of drivers take a chance after having consumed 2-3 beers. Very few drive when completely inebriated. Many are caught the day after when they're out early driving to work and still over the limit.
The very real threat of prison does work as a deterrent. Fines are substantial, as are driving bans. Here, as many places, not being able to drive is a major inconvenience. But surprisingly, IMO, is the social stigma of being a drunk driver: then you're pretty much a pariah.
